Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tourtook over Raymond Jones Stadium in Tampa, Florida from Thursday, April 13, to Saturday, April 15, and Swift shared the (very humid) spotlight with Aaron Dessner for two of those nights.
Dessner reappeared at the same point in the set on April 15 — this time, sitting at the piano with Swift for “Mad Woman” from their Grammy-winning 2020 album Folklore.
“Still buzzing from those 3 shows in Tampa!!!” Swift wrote to Instagram and Twitter. “Thank you for the unforgettably epic crowds and to @aarondessner for coming out to play twice with me, we’ve been dreaming about that for so long!! So grateful for the memories we’re making on this tour.”
Dessner also posted to Instagram, “Playing the Great War [sic] for the first time in Tampa….Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine getting to play a song for 80,000 people on acoustic guitar with @taylorswift eternally grateful for all the music we have made and your friendship.”
Although a lot of attention from Coachella’s first weekend has gone to Frank Ocean’s bizarre headlining performance on Sunday, the rest of the weekend appeared to go much more smoothly. That includes Blackpink’s Saturday set, the first-ever by a K-pop girl group. The quartet overcame some initial nerves, smashed their set, then announced their Born Pink Encore world tour afterward.
Whether you caught them live, saw them on the YouTube live stream, or plan on catching them later, you might be wondering what songs they performed. Well, have no fear, because we’ve got you, courtesy of Setlist.fm. You can check out the full setlist — which included standouts like “Pink Venom,” “Boombayah,” and solo performances from each of the four members — below.
1. “Pink Venom”
2. “Kill This Love”
3. “How You Like That”
4. “Pretty Savage”
5. “Kick It”
6. “Whistle”
7. “You & Me” (Jennie song) (Remix with new rap verse)
8. “Flower” (Jisoo song)
9. “Gone / On The Ground” (Rosé song)
10. “Money” (Lisa song) (unreleased Explicit Version)
11. “Boombayah”
12. “Lovesick Girls”
13. “Playing with Fire”
114. “Typa Girl”
15. “Shut Down”
16. “Tally”
17. “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du”
18. “Forever Young”
Despite highlighting each member’s solo tracks, don’t expect to see the group breaking up anytime soon; Jisoo recently shut down rumors of beef between members, saying, “We treat it as a joke.”
While the football world waits to see what kind of deal Lamar Jackson will strike with either the Ravens or another team after Baltimore placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on him, the Philadelphia Eagles got to work locking up their franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future.
On Monday morning, word broke that Jalen Hurts and the Eagles had agreed to a 5-year, $255 million extension that makes Hurts the NFL’s highest paid player in history on a per-year basis. The deal also includes a variety of guaranteed figures (because the NFL seems to think guaranteed means something other than guaranteed), with $110 as the “fully guaranteed” number and $179 million in guarantees, alongside a no-trade clause.
Hurts gets $110M fully guaranteed at signing (third-most ever) and $126.5M fully gtd before Year 2 (second-most).
He gets a raise this year, including a $23.294M signing bonus, and now is signed through 2028 on a deal that lets Philly keep the team intact. https://t.co/iEkNoiwcsx
Eagles and Jalen Hurts reached agreement on a five-year, $255 million extension, including $179.304 million guaranteed, per source.

It is the first no-trade clause the Eagles have ever given out, and it’s quite the commitment to Hurts, rewarding him for taking a leap in his third season in the league, leading Philly to the Super Bowl. He was given the keys after the Carson Wentz trade, but until last year not everyone was sold on him as the franchise guy. His performance in 2022 was so unassailable — 66.5% completion rate, 3,701 yards, 22 TDs, 6 interceptions to go with 760 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground — that the Eagles happily paid him like one of the game’s elite QBs.
Hurts’ extension will set the bar for new QB deals, giving Jackson another potential benchmark for negotiations, as well as soon-to-be extended young QBs like Joe Burrow in Cincinnati.
Soooo, there’s this dog and I’m pretty sure it’s the actual Snoopy come to life. Seriously all the dog needs is a red dog house out back and a little yellow bird that follows it around. If you think it can’t be true, then you’re going to have to fight the entire internet about it because nobody can get enough of how much this sweet dog looks like the iconic cartoon character.
Snoopy is Charlie Brown’s pet from the comic strip “Peanuts” that eventually spawned several movies and cartoon series, and Bayley is a dead ringer for the black and white animated pup. Since we live in a digital age, people across the country have been falling all over themselves to get to the pooch’s Instagram account and admire her cartoonish mug.
Bayley is a 1-year-old mini sheepadoodle, which is a cross between a miniature poodle and an Old English Sheepdog. Her sweet face is something you have to see to believe and even then you may question if she’s real.
The dog’s perfectly groomed curly fur makes her face look fluffy and cartoon-like. Once you add in her black ears and black button nose, that honestly looks more like a smooth lump of coal than a dog nose, then you have the perfect Snoopy doppelgänger. Bayley came into her viral fame after Doodle Dogs Club shared her photo on their Instagram account that has over 230,000 followers, and just like that, she was “famous.”
The introductory post of the live version of Charlie Brown’s best friend racked up over 1.4 million likes and 10.3K comments. The comments ranged from people reminding others that the fictional dog was a Beagle to people demanding Bayley star in the live action version of Charlie Brown.
Whether Snoopy was a Beagle or not, there’s no arguing that Bayley looks more like the cartoon canine than real life Beagles. This probably has a lot to do with cartoons being…cartoons. Everything tends to be a bit bubbly and over exaggerated with cartoons.
Charlie Brown was supposed to be between the ages of 4 and 8 years old according to PeanutsWiki, who busted out the comic strip receipts. If cartoons looked exactly like real life, poor Charlie Brown would have a hard time walking with his oversized noggin.
Bayley’s curly fluffy fur gives her an advantage over actual Beagle’s when it comes to the ability to look like the famous cartoon character. It’s something she probably couldn’t care less about, unless every time she got compared to Snoopy equaled a dog treat. Otherwise, I’m sure the black and white sheepadoodle is perfectly happy just being a dog wondering why suddenly her mom keeps taking pictures of her.
Since Bayley’s debut on Doodle Dogs Club, the animated dog come to life has climbed up to over 240k followers and her fanbase just can’t get enough of her. To make people love her even more, the dog’s mom uploads videos of Bayley using audio that makes it sound like the pup is a toddler trying to tell a story.
Moms are superheroes, no doubt about it. They bring new life into this world, they multitask like no other creatures on the planet, and when it comes to protecting their babies, there is seriously no foe too great.
Moms will even go toe-to-toe with Mother Nature herself if need be. Take for example Nicole Graham, the Texas-based Mom (and undiscovered reptile wrangler) who made headlines after finding a surprise scaly visitor in her daughter Haylie’s car engine.
Yep, it’s not everyday you find a snake nestled up under the hood, but this is Texas, after all. Luckily, Graham handled the situation like a pro.
The video, captured by Haylie, shows Graham wearing gloves as she fearlessly grabs the snake by its tail and guides it onto a ruler for better handling.
The best part though is hearing Graham use her mom voice on the snake as she coos, “Come heeerrree. Baby, I’m not trying to hurt you.”
Being the owner of a chicken coop and education facility, The Garden Hen, Graham is certainly no stranger to serpents. She told FOX 26 that she immediately recognized the reptile as a non-venomous rat snake (aka chicken snake), known to prey upon chicken coops to feed on small eggs. Perhaps this little fella thought he found a coop with some horsepower.
Graham’s farming experience has taught her how to handle creatures of all kinds not only safely, but with respect.
“Spiders, reptiles, snakes, it doesn’t matter. I view all animals with respect and compassion,” she shared in an interview with Today.com.
All I can say is Graham makes respect look super badass. Watch below:
The Dark Knight Rises, Spider-Man 3, X-Men: The Last Stand. The third installments in superhero trilogies tend to be the weakest, but Oscar-snubbed actress Mia Goth thinks MaXXXine will break from that tradition.
“I see MaXXXine as a superhero movie – that’s how I read the script,” she told Total Film about director Ti West’s follow-up to X and Pearl. “Maxine, as a character, has come a long way. She’s a survivor, she’s gone through a lot. When we meet her again, in this new world that she’s in, she’s really fought for everything that she has, and she’s not about to give that up. She’s going to fight for what she has. She’s a badass. There’s a strength to her. And she’s a really proactive, determined, focused woman. She goes after what she wants, and she’s not really going to take no for an answer.”
In that way, Maxine is a lot like Batman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. Unlike those three, however, she’s a murderer who feeds people to alligators and becomes a porn star. That’s also why she’s cooler than Batman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. I’m a fan of the MCU: the Maxine Cinematic Universe.
MaXXXine, which also stars Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon, does not currently have a release date.
WARNING: Spoilers for Succession Season 4 Episode 4 below.
Following the shocking death of family patriarch Logan Roy on last week’s Succession, the three siblings Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Shiv (Sarah Snook) gathered in their father’s spacious apartment for tense negotiations over who will serve as interim CEO and land the merger deal with Alexander Skarsgård’s Lukas Mattsson. There’s also a fight for Logan’s vast wealth in the background as his estranged wife Marcia (Hiam Abbass) suddenly appeared out of nowhere and claimed to still have intimate contact with the deceased media mogul while already selling off the apartment and icing out Kerry (Zöe Winters).
While the children think one of them is the obvious choice to lead the company, the Waystar Royco board is also squabbling amongst themselves over which exec should take the top spot instead of the kids. In a hilarious moment, Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) actually tries to throw his name in the ring, only to get ruthlessly eviscerated by Succession‘s underrated secret weapon, Karl (David Rasche).
The situation takes a turn, however, when a piece of paper is found that seemingly contains Logan’s last wishes. At some time in the past four years, Logan named Kendall as his successor. At a later date, he either crossed out or underlined Kendall’s name, which led to an extremely tense moment with Shiv. Sensing a potential foothold for the interim CEO position, she highlights that the name looks crossed off. Kendall returned her cut-throat move in kind by brutally saying, in front of everyone, that it “sure as sh*t doesn’t say Shiv.”
It was an ice-cold moment by Kendall, who’s already fully channeling his father’s ruthlessness by the end of the episode, and Succession fans were floored by the Shiv jab. You can see some of the reactions below:
Surprise, surprise: the teases were interconnected.
Metro Boomin brought out The Weeknd, Future, John Legend, Don Toliver, 21 Savage, and Diddy. The Weeknd’s portion included the live debut of “Creepin’,” the Heroes & Villainscollaborative track with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage that peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and what’s believed to be “Double Fantasy” with Mike Dean (as reported by Billboard).
Per Billboard, “For the live debut, Dean’s saxophone rumbled through the Sahara Tent while the crowd was blinded by The Weeknd’s fluorescent, all-white ensemble, along with the lights he once sang about. ‘Temperature rising, bodies united, now that I tried you in my arms. No need to fight it, no need to hide it, now that I’ve seen what’s in your heart,’ he sang before letting his vocal runs synch up with the electrifying synths.”
The Weeknd will take any good press related to The Idol, even if tangential, after the Rolling Stone‘s damning investigative report about allegedly troubling working conditions on the HBO set. He responded to the criticism, though Jeremy O. Harris didn’t explicitly ask about the March report, for Interview Magazine:
“I’m used to it more than someone like Sam [Levinson], who’s probably a little bit used to it now. And I’m sure Lily[-Rose Depp], definitely — Lily’s stronger than both of us. But I’ve been judged since the beginning. My stuff’s always kind of been provocative. I understand it’s hard for people to separate that sometimes and that some people want to have an opinion about you, even if it’s not true.
As an artist, you have to know that you can’t please everybody, and you have to accept that it comes with the job. You have to remind yourself that everybody that knows you, knows you’re a good person. If you’re going out there trying to prove to people you’re a good person all the time, then it becomes like a dead end. But what I’ve learned is, with time people will learn to understand. But I have thick skin. I’m used to it.”
Frank Ocean’s Coachella headlining set has received a less-than-warm reception from fans. After starting over an hour late, fans were disappointed by what turned out to be a meandering, disjointed set in which he only performed a handful of songs before a DJ played a string of mashups and remixes. While he did tease a new album, after burning fans so badly with his first-weekend set, they might not be looking forward to it as much as they were on Saturday.
Fans left wondering just why Frank’s set turned out the way it did may have gotten an explanation on Twitter, though. The Festive Owl, an independent journalistic outlet that covers festivals around the country, spoke with multiple sources about the disastrous set, reporting their findings in a long tweet that revealed much of the behind-the-scenes finagling that sparked the hour-long delay.
I’ve been speaking with sources about exactly what transpired and how things went so far downhill Sunday for #FrankOcean + #Coachella…so here you go
The stage production was suppose to (and did) contain an ice rink that was constructed and ready to go.
The stage production was supposed to (and did) contain an ice rink that was constructed and ready to go.
Frank decided at the last minute that he no longer wanted it at all. All of the people walking around him at the start of the performance were actually ice skaters, had been practicing for weeks, and were supposed to be skating as part of the production. Coachella had to deconstruct the approved stage (that had been planned and signed off on for months in advance) + melt the entire ice rink and then set it up how Frank decided today with no warning. Which is what you ended up seeing, and caused the hour-long delay. This all happened when doors had already opened for Sunday, and people were securing their spots to see him. If the last-minute changes weren’t made he wouldn’t have performed at all — leaving the festival without a closing headliner.
Frank also personally pulled the plug at the last second on the live stream which left a very sour taste in many inside Coachella’s mouths.
Ultimately, and I quote — “It just didn’t seem like he wanted to be there but was obligated to be. Everything (including him) fell apart last minute.
Don’t expect to see any coverage from the festival about the set. Something that is unprecedented in the history of Coachella. The relationship is not in a good place right now.”
What this means for Weekend Two of Coachella remains to be seen… but don’t be surprised if big changes are announced sometime this week.
The Succession Report Card is a weekly recap feature where we attempt to assign grades to the important people, things, and themes from each episode of Succession. The grades are entirely subjective and the criteria for scoring will change from week to week and occasionally mid-week. Someone might get detention. It’ll probably be Roman.
SEASON 4, EPISODE 4 – “Honeymoon States”
UPROXX
Shiv
HBO
Shiv is not doing great, in a handful of ways, all of which are screaming ahead at an alarming rate of speed. She got kind of railroaded by Kendall and Roman into stepping back during the CEO chat, she’s grieving Logan’s death in a weird and self-defeating way — like, weirder and even more self-defeating than the way everyone else is, which is saying something — where she’s wondering if she’s the only one who actually lost something, she’s shouting at people a little bit and storming out of rooms, and all-in-all just taking a series of high-profile losses in front of everyone and herself and that Secret Service dog that showed up to sweep the room. Again, it’s not great.
Also… uh, she’s pregnant. With, one assumes, the child of a man she’s divorcing and hates and would not let comfort her for even five minutes despite all that stuff in the first paragraph happening while a bunch of friends and strangers paraded around in her dead dad’s luxurious home. She fell down, too. Just fully wiped out on the floor, which is always bad but doubly so when you have a baby inside you. Shiv is doing real, real bad.
GRADE: F
MUST IMPROVE: It’s understandable given the circumstances but it’s generally a tough look to shout at people to stop smiling
Tom
HBO
Not really much I can say here that will sum things up more clearly or eloquently than the little speech my beloved Karl gave about why Tom was unsuited to be CEO and how he’s maybe even on his way to being shoved out of the company completely. It is rarely a great thing when someone looks you dead in the eye and tells you you’re a joke whose career is headed for the toilet, even if that person claims to just be playing devil’s advocate, as a friend
Oh, and there’s that thing we just talked about where the wife who hates him is pregnant with a child he does not yet know about, which is also not super ideal, just as a general life thing.
GRADE: F
MUST IMPROVE: Interloping
Kerry
HBO
Kerry has three problems here, as far as I can tell:
Logan’s death has stripped away any authority she had within the company, to the degree she ever had any, as we saw with the audition tape debacle
She is massively outmatched by Marcia when it comes to any of this business
She’s also, like, sad her boyfriend died
I know I gave Shiv and Tom an F, too, but Kerry is doing so much worse than anyone here. I’d give her an H if that was a thing.
GRADE: F
MUST IMPROVE: Bag holding
UPROXX
Undated addendums written in pencil
HBO
It is deeply funny to me that the show titled Succession spent three seasons showing all the ways all these people were angling to take over for Logan when he stepped aside or died and then, when it came time to actually do it, to select the person or persons who would take over after he’s no longer there to captain the ship, the whole thing was thrown into chaos by a previously unknown addendum and a squiggly line that was either an underline or strike-through. Just perfect writing and character development all paying off in a single moment.
What a lovely television program.
GRADE: D
MUST IMPROVE: Binding legality
Gerri
HBO
GOOD NEWS: Logan’s death saved her job, seeing as she was just about to be fired and now appears to be hanging on by her fingernails.
BAD NEWS: Everyone kind of knows she was a dead lady walking and now she’s stuck working with and for all these bozos for who knows how long. One of her new bosses has sent her pictures of his penis. The other is Kendall. I’m not sure which is worse news here.
GRADE: D
MUST IMPROVE: Exit strategies
Cousin Greg
HBO
Greg spent most of this episode shuffling into and out of rooms telling anyone who would look at him that he’s sorry for their loss. He hitched his wagon to Logan and Tom, one of whom is dead and the other of whom might as well be, from a business perspective. His career options are cooked and his naked leeching is becoming apparent to everyone and Frank straight-up laughed in his face when he suggested himself as a number two to Kendall because of a handwritten “Greg?” in Logan’s secret paperwork.
I am devastated at what my sweet boy has become.
GRADE: D
MUST IMPROVE: I’m sorry I wrote “naked leeching” earlier and put that potentially upsetting visual into your head
Colin
HBO
He’s wearing jeans now. It’s not ideal.
GRADE: D
MUST IMPROVE: Knowing what to do with his hands and arms
UPROXX
Connor
HBO
Connor:
Bought his father’s mansion from Marcia in a deal that was formalized with spit and a handshake instead of paperwork, which is hilarious but not legally binding and also the kind of thing that would end up screwing a dope like Connor eventually
Getting shuffled out of rooms of the house he sort of owns by the younger siblings who hold more sway in the company and every social circle he’s in
About to go on a honeymoon through various swing states as part of the doomed presidential campaign that is about to wrap up
I should be giving him a much worse grade. I don’t know. I’ve developed a soft spot for this doofus.
GRADE: C
MUST IMPROVE: Negotiations
Stewy
HBO
He’s a slick little weasel and not someone I ever want to be in a room with but he might have been the person in that house who showed Kendall the most real compassion about… everything. Very conflicting. I still like him.
GRADE: C
MUST IMPROVE: I feel like it would be fun to see Stewy in a helicopter just once before this all ends, with the sunglasses and helmet and scarf and the whole shebang
Matsson
HBO
There are power moves and then there’s “have an extremely Swedish assistant answer the phone call from the children of a recently deceased business partner and then demand that those children fly across an ocean and come to you to settle a multibillion-dollar deal before their father is even buried because you are too busy with your corporate retreat.”
GRADE: C
MUST IMPROVE: I really wish that phone call had been another video chat, if only to see Oskar’s face as he brushed them off
Various Karl, Franks, and Karolinas
HBO
ON ONE HAND: I could watch Frank and Karl do their little spineless power dance for hours at a time. I have joked a number of times about how much I would like to see a spinoff about their rise to power but, the more I joke about it, the more I actually want to see it. Same actors. We use makeup or CGI to make them look younger. Or we just leave them as-is and let two old men play young strivers in their early-30s. I do not care. Just make it happen.
ON THE OTHER HAND: Hugo is getting strong-armed by freaking Kendall, of all people, into doing dirty work on Logan’s reputation because his semi-estranged daughter used inside information to cash out of Waystar stock before Logan’s death was announced.
ON A THIRD HAND, WHICH WE ARE JUST GOING TO PRETEND EXISTS: Karl is so close to buying an island with his brother and I very much want that for him.
GRADE: C
MUST IMPROVE: Hugo, if you mess this up for Karl, I swear to God…
UPROXX
Roman
HBO
Roman is now, against odds so long you could lasso the moon with them, co-CEO of the family business. That’s… incredible. Picture telling someone that this would happen back in… any of the previous seasons, really. And it’s actually, weirdly, almost deserved? Maybe. No one on this show deserves anything other than a swift kick in the shins, but as we’ve discussed every week this season, Roman has somehow grown into the most human and kind of these reptile people.
I mean, look at him comforting Kerry when no one else lifted a finger. Look at him berating — to the degree Roman berates anyone — Hugo and Karolina for the Bad Dad public relations pitch. To be sure, some of this is a product of being the baby and spending a lifetime spinning plates and making jokes to try to keep all the miserable people in his life happy, but still. Look at this guy.
GRADE: B
MUST IMPROVE: I don’t think pre-grieving is a thing
Kendall
HBO
Kendall:
Catapulted to CEO despite trying to put his father in jail a few times, once in front of Congress
Correctly identified that blackmailing Hugo into doing freelance dirty work is exactly what Logan would have done in a similar situation, which is… not a great lesson to have learned from a parent and maybe a troubling sign that Kendall is going to start cosplaying as Logan in his “temporary” new role
Has a great grief guy
I’m only giving him this high of a grade because I can’t believe he finagled his way into the top seat. It’s going to ruin him in new and exciting ways, even for Kendall, but he did it.
GRADE: B
MUST IMPROVE: … not being a hopelessly broken little boy all the time?
Marcia
HBO
I missed her so much.
GRADE: B
MUST IMPROVE: I bet she could have squeezed an extra $10 million out of Connor on the house sale
UPROXX
Willa
HBO
The ink on her marriage certificate isn’t even dry yet and she’s already mentally knocking down walls in the mansion her dipshit new husband just sort of purchased in a saliva-sealed deal from the terrifying estranged wife of the man who would have been her father-in-law had he not died on an airplane while skipping her wedding.
Also, she stood up to Marcia a tiny bit with that little “we’re not so different” exchange where Marcia tried to put her down as a gold digger. Good for Willa.
GRADE: A
MUST IMPROVE: Honeymoon destinations
Will Ferrell
HBO
One of the many good things about never skipping the credits is that, right there, every week, I get reminded that Will Ferrell has an executive producer credit on this show. Definitely take a minute this week and make sure more people know that. It’s a fun bit of trivia. I’m so happy for him.
GRADE: A
MUST IMPROVE: Let him play the preacher at Logan’s funeral, just for me
Stephen Root, generally
HBO
I just want it noted somewhere that Stephen Root popped up in both this show and the season premiere of Barry last night, which is a kind of personal dominance of the primo HBO Sunday night programming block that I don’t think we’ve ever seen before. Good for him, man.
GRADE: A
MUST IMPROVE: Let’s go ahead and digitally insert him into The Sopranos while we’re at it, maybe as a crooked FBI agent named, like, Rodney Orlando
